The Flash – New 52 | Comics

With help from the tapping of the mysterious Speed Force, Barry Allen became the fastest man alive known in the alias of The Flash. Since childhood Barry’s mother was trying her heart and soul to keep the family going while he was busy with school and all that.

He lost his mother at a young age with his father being arrested for her murder but claimed to be innocent. This event became his motivation to become a forensic scientist later with help from Darryl Frye, a person with whom his mother was romantically involved once that no one else knew about.

After years of frustration over the thing that he could not figure out his mother’s true killer, his father finally admitted his role in the alleged crime. In one stormy night when a depressed Barry was working in his lab, he was struck by lightning, woke up from coma after a long time with the power of super-speed, he becomes The Flash!

Apart from his regular duty of saving the world from massive crisis as a League member and an experienced speedster, Barry often spends time taking down other Rogues like Captain Cold, Gorilla Grodd, Heat Wave, Pied Piper, Reverse-Flash and Weather Wizard.

In the wake of The New 52 timeline of DC Comics following the ‘Flashpoint’ crossover event, the monthly ongoing Flash comic series has also been re-launched by DC in the New 52 era, given a slightly altered origin.

The series initially kick-started with Francis Manapul (Legion of Superheroes, Witchblade) and Brian Buccellato (Forever Evil – Rogues Rebellion, The Flash – Reverse) as the creative team for the series and FrancisManapul is also serving for a long time as both writer and artist at the same time.

Flash and The Justice League

Other than appearing in his own monthly series Flash also made appearance in the other titles like Justice League too. The Flash was also part of H'El on Earth, Superman – Doomed, Earth 2 – World's End, Darkseid War crossover and then he ascended to the universe changing event; DC Rebirth.
